Klopp’s side went down 1-0 to the Premier League’s rock-bottom club and the German admitted he should not have reacted as he did to the heckler.

He said: ‘He was shouting at me all the time. Sorry, I reacted one time, I remind myself I am a human being and not a professional manager who takes that all the time and they can say whatever they want.

‘At one point, I said ‘please’. He felt quite good because nobody can do anything. He is in a good position. I’m sure I’m not the first manager. I think he’s a season-ticket holder.

‘It’s my fault as well, I shouldn’t have reacted. But I didn’t say anything bad, only that I showed I wasn’t too happy by what he was saying all the time.

‘I am frustrated. I am more frustrated about the performance than the result. The result is always a result of the performance.

‘We were just not good enough tonight, especially in the first half. We didn’t play what we wanted to play.

‘That’s what Swansea wanted tonight. It’s not Swansea’s job to play progressive football, it was to fight. We wanted to fight as well. We had the ball more often, we had the plan and in the second half we did more what we wanted to do from the beginning.

‘It was much more difficult than if we’d done that from the beginning because they were exactly where they wanted, the stadium was there (with them) and their confidence grew and ours was not really there.’

Swansea’s shock victory ended a 15-game unbeaten streak in the league for Liverpool and came the week after the Reds became the first Premier League side to beat Manchester City this season.

A mistake from Virgil van Dijk in the 40th minute allowed Alfie Mawson to score from close-range.

Van Dijk headed the ball back into the danger area at a corner and the goal ended up being the difference between the two sides.

Liverpool had their chances in the second half at the Liberty Stadium, with Roberto Firmino hitting the post at the death, but the relegation-battlers held out for a vital three points.
